Re: amana wall ac unit

I had the same problem, during a storm, the A/c stopped working, though the electricity did not go out, and I unplugged my A/C over night, and it worked again the next afternoon. I let it sit for almost 24 hours, unplugged. Now it works

highly annoying issue error code E1. After hours of fan operation, the error code E1 will appear on the seven segment LED temperature display. This error code is intended as a reminder for the user to clean the air filter. However, because the procedure outlined in the user manual does not clear this error code as indicated, and the appliance has a nonvolatile memory that cannot be reset by simply unplugging it, the user of the appliance will become mightily frustrated, standing in potentially sweltering heat watching the appliance repeatedly shut down in the midst of operation with the "E1" display flashing.

Believe it or not, that is what it does: if you unplug it to remove the "E1" code from the display, and plug it back in and re-start it, it will simply run for anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours, and then merrily shut down again with the same flashing "E1" code.

So you will come home to a hot bedroom, living room, etc. unexpectedly, and you will NOT be amused, as I was not.

Many people at this point, having put the manual under the canary or some such, will simply return the unit and never buy another Sharp air conditioner. But for the tech-savvy and search-adept, I offer the following procedure to clear the nefarious E1 indication, and obtain

1. Power down the air conditioner using the "power" button on the front panel. 2. Unplug the air conditioner from the wall socket. 3. Hold the front panel "power" button down and plug the air conditioner in. Continue to hold the power button down as the machine goes through a brief test sequence (fan & compressor each come on briefly, etc). There is a "beep" sound at the end of the test sequence, and the machine will be off. At this point, you can release the power button. 4. Unplug the air conditioner. 5. Plug the air conditioner back in. 6. Congratulations! You should now be able to operate the air conditioner normally for another 720 hours, but only if you followed the instructions above EXACTLY.

Thanks for using fixya support..You have a wonderful day

Hi,
1. Unplug unit.
2. Hold down power button while plugging in unit. It will do a short self-test and then beep. leaving unit off.
3. Release power button and unplug.
4. Plug in again and turn on normally. This should last for about 720 hours, at which point the E1 error will come back and you need to follow the procedure again. (You might as well clean the air filter at this point just in case it really needed it...)
Let me know,if needed further assistance.
Hope i helped you.
Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

Unfortunately, there's not much you can do. The E1 error code indicates a sensor shutdown. However, you can try turning the unit OFF & unplug it for 15 minute. Then plug it back in and turn it ON. If the electronics reset and reverted back to the original factory setting, you can set the controls as you like.

If you continue to get the E1 error code,, contact Haier Customer Support 1-877-337-3639.

This is an Error code. Something shorted or fail to perform it's job, possibly a safety device found an error, and the system cannot function until fixed or possibly reset. I am unfamilar with this unit. Might try service technician, or if under warranty call dealer for tech support. Try unpluging unit for 5 minutes and then pluging back in...it may reset the trouble code and perform correctly this time.

An E1 error is automatically generated after the AC runs for so many hours to remind you to clean the filter. The owners manual says to clean the filter and unplug the unit, then plug unit back in and code will be reset.
However, a User review stated that his code was not reset until he followed a fairly simple routine. "Unplug the unit. Hold down the power button and plug back in. Wait to hear a "beep" and then unplug it again. Plug unit in again and it should restart without E1 code."
